step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with butter.

step 2

Melt the Butter (2 Tbsp) and Unsweetened Chocolate (1/3 cup) together. I do this in a microwave using a microwave-safe dish.

step 3

In a separate saucepan, heat Buttermilk (2 cups) gently until just a little warmer than body temperature - being careful not to boil or cook it. Remove from heat and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl combine All-Purpose Flour (2 1/2 cups), Brown Sugar (1 cup), Baking Powder (1 Tbsp), Baking Soda (1 tsp), and Salt (1/2 tsp). Mix well, making as uniform a mixture as possible.

step 7

Pour on the boiling Water (2 1/2 cups). It will look terrible, and you will not believe you are actually doing this, but try to persevere.

Cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. Invert each serving on a plate so that the fudge sauce on the bottom becomes a topping. Serve hot or at room temperature.
